Influence of preoperative radiation field on postoperative leak rates in esophageal cancer patients after trimodality therapy.
INTRODUCTION Postoperative morbidities, such as anastomotic leaks, are common after trimodality therapy (chemoradiation followed by surgery) for esophageal cancer. We investigated for factors associated with an increased incidence of anastomotic leaks. METHODS Data from 285 esophageal cancer patients treated from 2000 to 2011 with trimodality therapy were analyzed. Anastomotic location relati...
متن کاملEsophageal Cancer Radiation Therapy
Esophageal cancer often is asymptomatic until it has advanced or metastasized to distant organs, limiting treatment options. The 2 most common forms are squamous cell carcinomas that appear in the upper or midesophagus and esophageal adenocarcinomas that tend to occur lower in the esophagus or at the gastroesophageal junction. Since the 1980s higher rates of esophageal adenocarcinomas have been...
متن کاملThe prognostic value of molecular marker analysis in patients treated with trimodality therapy for esophageal cancer.
The purpose of this study was to define the prognostic value of a group of molecular tumor markers in a well-staged population of patients treated with trimodality therapy for esophageal cancer. The original pretreatment paraffin-embedded endoscopic esophageal tumor biopsy material was obtained from 118 patients treated with concurrent cisplatin + 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) + 45 Gy radiation followe...
متن کاملIN TRAOPERATIVE RADIATION THERAPY FOR GASTRIC ADENOCARCINOMA
Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is a multidisciplinary approach in which residual tumors or tumor beds are directly irradiated during a surgical procedure. To evaluate its efficacy, from 1985, we conducted a prospective study including non-metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma treated by surgery, IORT (15 Grays) and postoperative external beam radiotherapy (44 Grays). Up to 1993, 51 ca...
متن کاملOutcomes with esophageal cancer radiation therapy.
PURPOSE Esophageal cancer is the seventh leading cause of cancer death worldwide and is responsible for 4% of the cancer deaths in the United States annually. Changing epidemiologic patterns and expanded treatment options have brought this often deadly cancer to the forefront. METHODS AND MATERIALS To characterize epidemiological changes, the effect of treatment advances, and patient outcomes...
